The Watch Grid

The watch grid shows information about your watches at a quick glance. The Watch Nickname, Notification Type and Last Notified Date/Time are displayed and updated in real-time. Selecting an item in the grid will allow you to click either the "Edit" or "Delete" buttons to edit a Watch Item or permanantly remove a Watch Item. Clicking on the square checkbox area or double clicking on the Watch Item will enable/disable that Watch Item. A Watch Item will not report changes while it is disabled.

 

The Add/Edit/Remove Buttons

Clicking the "Add" button will open the Add/Edit Watch Item dialog to add a new Watch Item or edit an existing item. Selecting an item and clicking "Edit" will also open the Add/Edit Watch Item containing your Watch Item for editing.

The Hide Button

The "Hide" button will minimize the Always Watching!™ main window to the system tray. Its icon will appear there, next to the system time. This button item has the same effect as clicking the "Hide to Tray" menu item.

 

The Close Button

The Close button will exit Always Watching!, stopping all notifications. To continue running Always Watching! and to continue receiving Watch Notifications, click the "Hide" button or choose "Hide to Tray" from the File menu.  If you click the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the window, you will be asked if you want to close Always Watching! or hide it to the tray.  This helps prevent the occasional accidental closing of the application.
